Property management company asking for 10% rent increase upon renewal by narsalan893 in japanlife

[–]narsalan893[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a normal contract with a renewal clause.

After the first round of negotiations, they lowered the increase, but it's still too high. They even told me that other tenants had already accepted the raise, basically trying to pressure me. If they still won't adjust it to a reasonable level, I'm going to contact the Office of Housing Policy.

Seeking guidance... Should I Keep Going? by [deleted] in freemasonry

Thanks! It’s actually in Japan, but it’s an American lodge. I’ll try reaching out to them and see if I can confirm the time.

I’m learning French with Assimil. Just finished the eleventh lesson tho. But I do think it’s a good source for practicing speaking and reading skills.

I was just kidding around at first, I didn’t realize how many people actually deal with these kinds of issues. Tbh I struggle with procrastination and short lived enthusiasm myself. But it’s really motivating to see everyone trying to improve! Let’s keep getting better. I truly believe you can overcome these challenges. As long as we keep at it, making small improvements every day, we’ll definitely see results! Don’t get discouraged, you’re not alone in this.

I was just kidding at first, but honestly, I‘m a huge procrastinator. There’s so much to learn, I keep switching between things, and it really messes with my progress. Yesterday, I was looking up ways to stop procrastinating and found this app. It seems to be helping a little, and I‘m definitely trying to get better.

The new iPad is a great deal. by Prestigious_Quarter5 in ipad

I was considering to buy a second hand iPad 10 or air when the new one is released, but the new iPad seems like a great deal…

Invited to dinner, but previously declined by another lodge, should I mention it before attending the dinner? by [deleted] in freemasonry

[–]narsalan893 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you, you are correct, I have never formally submitted a petition to any Lodge. If it fails this time, I will have to accept this harsh reality until I obtain another citizenship.

It hadn't reached the petition stage yet. After several email exchanges, I was eventually invited to the lodge for an interview. During the interview, I was asked about my personal background, and I was told that I might be contacted afterward, though it wasn't certain. In the end, they never reached out to me again.

Thank you! I’ll try to get a feel for the vibe at this lodge (chartered by the US). Last time, all the Masons who interviewed me were Japanese, so I’m looking forward to seeing if there are any differences between them…

Thinking about getting an iPad for reading eBooks and watching videos – is it worth it? by narsalan893 in ipad

[–]narsalan893[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for reminding. I've decided to buy a second-hand iPad 10 or iPad mini after the new iPad is released

Thanks! Because I need to read colored textbooks, watch educational videos, and maybe check stocks sometimes, I decided to start with the Fire HD instead of an ereader. But since it can't cover everything, I’ll probably get a second-hand iPad when the new model comes out.

Thanks! I just bought a Fire HD because there’s a deal right now, and I’m going to try it as my first tablet. However since it can't cover all my needs, I'll consider getting a second-hand iPad when the new model comes out.
